Hot, Customizable Meals on Set—Right on Time in New York City!
Whether you’re shooting the next blockbuster at Steiner Studios in Brooklyn, rolling cameras in Silvercup, or capturing an indie gem in Astoria, Best Food Trucks delivers top-tier studio food truck catering in New York. Our NYC team has spent years feeding film and TV crews from SoHo to Staten Island, so we know how to keep production on schedule and stomachs satisfied.
We’ll collaborate with your production office to craft rotating daily menus that fuel long shoot days, pinpoint the best curb space for trucks, streamline online ordering and rapid pickup, and verify every vendor’s permits and insurance with the City of New York. You’ll also receive a clear cost analysis that fits your budget and union requirements—no surprises, just great food.
From iconic New York comfort fare at Yankee Doodle Dandy's and sizzling Angus patties from Smash Burger, to grandma-style slices at Jiannetto's Pizza, buttery soft-serve treats from Mister Softee, and aromatic injera platters at MAKINA Cafe, our roster covers every craving on set. Food truck catering also cuts down on food and packaging waste, a win for both your wrap party and the planet.
Let Best Food Trucks take the guesswork out of mealtime for your New York studio production—because the only drama you need is what’s in the script.
Fueling New York’s Sets—and Its Small Businesses
Booking a food truck for your Brooklyn soundstage or Midtown green room does more than fill cast and crew; it keeps New York’s mom-and-pop economy humming. Nearly every truck that pulls up to Steiner, Kaufman Astoria, or Chelsea Piers is owned by a Queens family, a Bronx veteran, or a first-generation immigrant chef who perfected recipes in a tiny apartment kitchen before hitting the streets. Your studio food truck catering dollars stay right here in the five boroughs—paying for local commissary space, farmers-market produce, and union labor on set.
Going mobile also shrinks your production’s carbon footprint. Our vendors cook to order on energy-efficient rigs, tap city water hookups instead of plastic bottles, and serve in compostable trays that meet NYC Zero Waste goals. Compared with traditional drop-off chafing pans, the result is less diesel, less trash, and way fresher eats.
So the next time you ask Siri for “film set catering near me” while rushing between takes on the Lower East Side, remember: a Best Food Trucks vendor brings sustainable flavor and real New York hustle to your call sheet. Great food, greener shoots, stronger neighborhoods—roll camera.

This was my first time looking into getting a food truck on site to feed our employees. You guys made it very easy and so did Paul, with Doc E's BBQ! The food was delicious and everyone I talked to say the same! The portions were perfect and was a very easy process. I had the pulled pork with slaw on top for my first plate and then later on Paul gave us a pan of ribs that were phenomenal!

Food and service was excellent. Arrival of food truck was late. Driver wanted to come half hour earlier (11:30a) to event to prep but ended up showing an hour later (12:30p). Wasn’t able to feed some of my important guests. They missed out on some good food to catch a flight. For the amount of $$ paid, was hoping have event catered on time.
